3 Times Lucky For Sommerville
Saturday night in the Geary woods was a thriller to say the least. Twenty seven cars made their way to Speedway 660 to compete in the Parts for Trucks 100. Chris Hughes and local native Matt Harris started on the front row of the 24 car field. The race which was hampered by a lot of cautions during the first 50 laps improved in style with a thrilling finish involving four front runners. Lonnie Sommerville, Shawn Tucker, Craig Slaunwhite and Shawn Turple were the players and the 1/3 mile oval was the field of play. Sommerville had been sent to the rear of the field three times during the event while Tucker had been issued the same faith once himself. Both drivers made their way to the front of the field with just 8 laps to go. At lap 92 Turple had led over half of the race (67 laps) but on the restart on lap 92, Slaunwhite would take the lead. The #99 of Slaunwhite seemed to be primed to take home the victory: Enter Lonnie Sommerville and Shawn Tucker. After a caution with just 2 laps to go, Sommerville and Tucker sat 3rd and 4th behind Slaunwhite and Turple. Sommerville dove to the inside off the restart and nestled himself right on the bumper of the #99 while Tucker was waiting patiently or not so patiently in the wings. With 1 lap to go Slaunwhite and Sommerville were battling hard with Sommerville getting the 99 loose with just 2 turns to go. Slaunwhite who was desperately trying to fight back left the door open for Tucker to slide into 2nd. On the last turn Sommerville cleared the two and took the checker in one of the most thrilling finishes in recent tour events. Finishing 2nd was a thrilled Shawn Tucker and a disappointed #99 Craig Slaunwhite finished a very respectable 3rd. The top Speedway 660 car was #88 of Kevin Moore finishing in 8th place. Other notables were Matt Harris in 11th, Jordan Gahan in 16th and Brian Gillespie in 23rd spot.
